The question I have is whether it is worth getting VW to look at the issues I’ve had or wait until a meaningful update is released?

Thoughts please.

welcome to the forum.
I’ve recently updated my software to the 1803 with big regrets.
It was fine for first 48 hours afterwards problem with apple CarPlay connectivity most time I have to do a factory reset a couple of time now to get things going again
I could easily change between my drivers profile and the secondary profile of my wife before but now it’s is like a lottery to be able to switch between profiles.
My speed limit warning return back to default after every ignition.

Mine is due in tomorrow for a software update.

Does anyone know what the update from 1788 to 1803 fixes?

What issues are you currently having (if any)

1) won’t let me set driving position to left
2) won’t let me overtake
3) keeps logging me out of user profile
4) reading road signs as kmph rather than mph
5) randomly slowing me down when it thinks I’m speeding

Think that’s it. Also have a speaker or two that crackle when I turn them on, like a loud pop sound but don’t think that’s software related.

So my car went in today to be sorted, I am on software 1788 and was categorically told that there was no software update available. There was a big one in the works from VW but couldn’t tell me when this was due out and o just had to wait. He said it will fix the ACC issue and roadsign recognition.

I am absolutely raging that despite my car slowing itself down randomly and not allowing me to overtake whilst using ACC they expect me just to accept it and keep paying.  :angry:

My speaker is also faulty and I need a new one. Not sure I fancy them taking my whole dashboard off mind so might just make do with the crackle. Only happens once.
